Sevmash put a new spin in production of engineering products. For the first time the workers of the enterprise produced the thrust bearing from the special alloy. It was produced for the mine hunter.

The article was designed by the design bureau of Sevmash and it was manufactured in the mechanical workshop of the enterprise. Unusual choice of the bearing material is explained by specificity of the ship for which it was produced. The function of the ship is to detect and deactivate mines.Besides, the specialists of Sevmash are developing the design of the bearings for the icebreaker, project 22220, which will be built at the Baltic plant. And in prospect it is planned to found the center of competence for the ship bearings on the base of Sevmash. The enterprise has approved itself in this direction long ago: for more than half a century Sevmash designs and manufactures these articles for shipbuilding industry of Russia and foreign countries.
